Contradiction solved

The problem is solved in Matthew 1:16 though the hint to the solution was given about 700 years prior.

Isaiah 7:13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.


That's the kind of verse that's loaded with 7000 tons of TNT, made in heaven.

This was written by the prophet Isaiah some years before Jeremiah ever wrote what he wrote concerning Coniah. And that's part of the beauty of the word of God: it sometimes gives you the solution to a problem that hasn't come up yet. Here's what you want to notice:

1) The attention of the house (family) of David is specifically requested. Not of the whole world, not of Israel, not of the priests and Levites, but that of the "house of David". So the house of David is especially concerned. You are to understand that it wasn't written just for the house of David that was then, but to all those who are of the house of David that should come in the future.

2) It's a sign. That means the hebrew scholars who told you that the hebrew word correctly translated as "virgin" can and should be translated as "maiden", aren't too bright.
Last I checked, it wasn't a SIGN that a young woman should get pregnant. It is however when a virgin conceives while remaining a virgin.

3) It's a sign given by "the Lord himself". Moses and a bunch of prophets gave signs, but this one is special. It's directly from God, no intermediary.

So do let us imagine for a moment that you're a Jew (as abominable as the thought may be to you) living in...oh, 15 B.C. You sit down and begin to read the prophet Isaiah. And you hit this passage there. What's a believing Jew expected to get out of it? Well, you're supposed to be looking for a virgin who's in the lineage of David, and therefore of the tribe of Judah, who gets pregnant without knowing any man. She's supposed to bear a man-child whose name means God is with us (Matthew 1:23). Get it? GOD, G-O-D, GOD, is with us.

Now here comes your gentile friend on his dromedary. "First off, that a virgin should conceive is crazy. If she did, I'd worship her and call her queen of heaven, full of grace, co-redemptrix, queen of angels, mother of God, er... I mean mother of believers, all-holy, all-blessed, save me at the hour of my death amen.
Besides, I know where you're going with this, but many men in the Bible had the name of God as part of their name, yet none of them was God himself, otherwise you'd have 1000 gods".

"True", says you, "but that's because they had human fathers who gave them their human nature. This 'Immanuel' here doesn't. Who's his father?"

"Don't you know that in 2100 years we'll have the know-how to allow a woman to conceive a child on her own, without the help of any man?!"

"So you believe that WE could get a virgin to conceive, yet God couldn't? Am I understanding you correctly?"

"Ehem..."

"Besides, that know-how only allows women to bear women. This virgin conceived a man-child"

"Listen, friend, the sun is a burning and my dromedary is chewing his tongue for thirst, catch you later"

So you get the picture...no dad, yet he's "God" with us. Where did he get his divine nature from?
Mary! Cry the cardinals. Nice try. She wasn't divine and a woman has no seed. Biology 101.

You go on to read the entire book of Isaiah over the week, and the following week you get into Jeremiah, writing some decades later.

And you hit Jeremiah 22:29-30.

O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.


The dead end of the messianic line. The dreadful, forbidden verse of every Bible disbelieving, Catechism-reading Pharisaical Jew on earth. And this time, it ain't only the house of David that should listen up but the entire EARTH EARTH EARTH.
Shem, Ham, Japheth. Now you begin to scratch your head. Why is it of such concern to the entire planet that the messianic line of the kings of Judah has reached a dead-end?

It's not like the messiah was supposed to be God himself...

Capich?

A shimmer of light has pierced through the darkness of your soul.
Quickly spiritual darkness attempts to reflood the path that was blazed.

But how could the messiah be God if he is the seed of man?

He isn't. A) He is "OF the seed of David" - 2Timothy 2:8
B) He is "MADE OF the seed of David according to the flesh" - Romans 1:3
C) He "COMETH OF the seed of David" - John 7:42

Physically, Christ got his body from David through Mary. The end.
Spiritually, he got his nature from God, being God's seed.

Your mind goes back to Isaiah 7:14 under a new light. He said it's a sign. That a virgin should conceive is a miracle, granted. But then what? You're missing the point (thrust, sign) of it if you only stop there. What is that virgin birth pointing to? I don't pretend to know the full answer. In fact I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. But here's what you have: if messiah is born of a virgin, then he is no man's seed. Remember Isaiah said "the Lord himself shall give you a sign".
Isaiah 9:6 says
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.


Who gave that "son", Isaiah? "the Lord himself".

How shall this be, asked Mary, seeing I know not a man? Luke 1:34


Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

So here's the import of the sign of Isaiah 7:14:

The messiah was God's seed, not man's seed. So it didn't matter if Coniah's seed got cursed.

YOU WOULD HAVE HAD HALF A PROBLEM HAD YOU INITIALLY BELIEVED IN THE DEITY OF THE MESSIAH.

The house of David would've recognized its import when they hit Jeremiah 22:30, if they had believed Isaiah 7:14 to be begin with. The sign was given to them. It's not just that some Jewish virgin somewhere got pregnant on her own; it's that that pregnancy is the answer to the establishment of the Davidic covenant, so don't worry about Coniah, God will come through.

(The Roman Catholic gentile mind-set is simply dazzled by the miracle itself. If you fail to see the fulfilment of God's words therein, and the establishment of his plans, you're missing the boat. And when the antichrist shows up with his miracles, you'll just be dazzled by the phenomena and enquire more of them than of the words of God. And you'll damn your soul to hell by believing antichrist's SHOWbusiness.)

After Jeremiah 22:30 all of Israel, let alone the house of David, should've been busy praying, fasting and searching for a pregnant virgin having understood its relevancy to the kingdom of Israel. If you think I'm stretching things I've got 2 names for you: Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25,36)

Now for the other half: to be the Christ (messiah) Jesus still has to be in Coniah's line. So how does Jesus, being Christ, lay claim to the throne of David? Simple: adoption. He lays claim to the throne through Joseph, who is the son of Coniah in Matthew 1.

God put in place 2 safe-guards to make sure no other human being could ever rightfully lay claim to David's throne except Jesus Christ.

1) He killed one branch of the royal seed (Zedekiah and sons) and cursed the other (Coniah and sons). So one way to be disqualified was to actually be qualified. That's God's wisdom. And it works.

2) And just in case anybody else got the idea of getting adopted to escape the curse on Coniah's seed, God said that the Messiah had to be the seed of God himself. (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Psalm 2:7, 110:1)

Now I could add 3) here just for overkill.

Technically the true King of Israel is God himself.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

So simply by virtue of being God's Son (see Psalm 110:1) Jesus Christ could have superseded any claimant from any angle.

But God always honours his word, the Bible, and so as he prophecied, so he fulfiled.
The Lord God ALWAYS honours his word, his words, and his Word.

One last installement coming.

    "Let There Be Light"

    "In The Beginning" The Creator(Our Father) said,
    "Let There Be Light, and There Was Light"

    "Let There Be Light!"
    "The Beginning of The Creation of GOD!"

    And the revelation that The Messiah received of
    Our Father and gave unto the apostle John bore
    witness to The Truth that The Messiah, was
    "The Beginning of the Creation of GOD(Our
    Father, Creator of ALL)"! (Rev 1:1, 3:14)

    And The Messiah bore witness to His Brethren
    when He testified, "My GOD is your GOD and My
    Father(Creator) is your Father(Creator)."(Jn 20:17)

    The Messiah testified "I have sent My angel to
    you with this testimony for the assemblies. I am
    the root and the offspring of David. I am the bright,
    Morning Star(Light)"! (Rev 22:16) ) Peter testified
    "We have the more sure word of prophecy; and
    you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a
    dark place, until the day dawns, and The Morning
    Star(Light) arises in your hearts."(2Pt 1:19) "But
    you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
    a holy nation, HIS own special people, that you
    may proclaim the praises of HIM who called you
    out of darkness into His marvelous Light."(1Pt2:9)

    And the evening(darkness) and The Morning
    (Light) was the First Day." (Gen 1:5)

    "The Beginning of The Creation of GOD"!

    It is very important to both know and experience
    The Messiah as He Is, Was and always Will Be,
    and also to know the "glory He had with Our
    Father" before He was born in "the likeness of
    sinful flesh". (John 17:5, Rom 8:3) For what The
    Messiah Was and Is, Is that which He will always
    Will Be."The Only Begotten Son" of "Our Father"!

    First, let me simply state that I do not believe the
    "catholic" and "christian" theo'ry'logical doctrines
    concerning "The Only True GOD, Father ALL". For
    they "image"ine a three-headed "god" they call
    their "trinity", or they declare their "christ" to be
    their "god and father", or they believe that The
    Messiah was but an exalted messenger(angel)
    or prophet.

    John The Baptist testified, "And I saw, and bare
    record that The Messiah is the Son of GOD(Our
    Father)."(John 1:34) Peter testified, "You are The
    Messiah, The Son of The Living GOD(Father of
    ALL)"!(Matt 16:16) And the Ethiopian eunuch
    testified, "I believe that The Messiah is The Son
    of GOD(Our Father)". (Acts 8:37) "Seeing then
    that we have a great high priest, that is passed
    into the Heavens, The Messiah, The Son of
    GOD(Our Father), let us hold fast our profession."
    (Heb 4:14) "These things are written so that you
    might believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD
    (Our Father)". (John 20:31) The Messiah testified
    that He was "The Son of GOD", and that His GOD
    was "The Only True GOD(Father of ALL)".
    (John 10:36,17:3)

    And The Messiah also testified that He was the
    "Son of man" and "The Light of the world".
    (Matt 26:64, John 8:12)

    It is needful to believe that The Messiah Was, Is
    and always Will Be "The Son of The Living GOD",
    and that there is but "One GOD, HE WHO is
    Father of ALL". (Mat 16:16, Eph 4:6) The Messiah
    bore witness to His Brethren when He testified
    after being "raised from among the dead", "My GOD
    is your GOD and My Father(Creator) is your Father
    (Creator)" (John 20:17)

    Is The Messiah's GOD and Father your GOD
    and Father?

    Who are The Brethren of The Messiah?

    "Let There Be Light"

    Once again, It is very important to both know and
    experience The Messiah as He Was, Is and always
    Will Be. The Messiah simply testified in John 17:5
    "And now O Father, glorify Me with YOUR own self
    with the glory that I had with YOU before the world
    began".

    Prior to that testimony The Messiah had testified,
    "Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while
    you have The Light, lest darkness comes upon
    you: for he that walks in darkness does not know
    where he goes. While you have Light, believe in
    The Light, that you may be the children of Light."
    (John 12:35-36)

    And the apostle John testified: "In the beginning
    was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and
    The Word was GOD. (John did not testify that
    The Word is GOD)The same was in the beginning
    with GOD. All things were made by Him, and
    without Him was not any thing made that was
    made. In Him was Life; and The Life was The
    Light of men. And The Light shined in darkness;
    and the darkness comprehended it not. There
    was a man sent from GOD, whose name was
    John. The same came for a witness, to bear
    witness of The Light, that all men through Him
    might believe. He(John the baptist) was not that
    Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
    That was the True Light, which enlightens every
    man that comes into the world. He(The Messiah)
    was in the world, and the world was made by
    Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto
    His own, and His own received Him not. But as
    many as received Him, to them He gave power
    to become the sons of GOD, even to them that
    believe on His name: Which were born, not of
    blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
    of man, but of "The Only True GOD, Father of
    ALL"." (John 1:1-13)

    It is needful to realize that The Messiah testified
    of "The Only True GOD" in John 17:3, and so it is
    that The GOD and Father of The Messiah IS,
    WAS and always WILL BE "The Only True GOD".

    "The Only True GOD" is "Father of ALL".

    And "The Father of ALL" is "Our Father", HE WHO
    IS "The Only True GOD" and Father of The Messiah
    and His Brethren.

    And the apostle John testified in John 3:17-21:
    "For Our Father sent not his Son into the world
    to condemn the world; but that the world through
    Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is
    not condemned: but he that believes not is
    condemned already, because he has not believed
    in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD(Our
    Father). And this is the condemnation, that Light is
    come into the world, and men loved darkness
    rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
    For every one that does evil hates The Light,
    neither comes to The Light, lest his deeds should
    be reproved. But he that does Truth comes to The
    Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
    they are wrought in GOD(Our Father)."

    In John 12:34 the people asked, "Who is this Son
    of man? Then in John 12:35-36, "The Messiah said
    unto them, yet a little while is The Light with you.
    Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come
    upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not
    know where he goes. While you have Light, believe
    in The Light, that you may be the children of Light.
    The Messiah spoke these things, and departed,
    and hid Himself from them."

    Simply, "In The Beginning" The Only True GOD
    spoke The Word, "Let There Be Light", "And there
    was Light"! "And there was evening(darkness) and
    there was morning (Light), The First Day". (Gen 1:5)
    Certainly such "Light" was not "natural" light, for
    "natural" light, the sun, moon, and stars were not
    created until the "fourth day". (Gen 1:14-19)

    "In the beginning", "The First Day", The Father of
    All created "The Light", without which Creation and
    Life, as we now know and experience it, could not
    have been.

    The First Day, "The Light", The Messiah, "The
    beginning of the Creation of GOD(HE WHO is
    The Only True GOD and Father of ALL)"!
    (Gen 1:3, Rev 3:14, John 17:3, Eph 4:6)

    And "The Only True GOD" created all "things" by,
    through, and for "The Light", The Messiah, "The
    Son of The Living GOD" and "Son of man".
    (Col 1:15, Eph 3:9, Mat 16:16, Mat 12:32)

    And "The True Light which enlightens every man
    coming into the world", was born as a child
    destined to be The Messiah. (John 1:9, Mat 1:21)

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world".
    (John 8:12, 9:5)

    The Messiah, "The firstborn of every creature
    (all creation)". (Col 1:15)

    The Messiah, "Begotten of Our Father",
    "The firstborn among many Brethren".
    (Heb 1:5) (Ps 2:7) (Rom 8:29)

    The Messiah, "A servant of The Only True GOD
    (Father of ALL)". (Isa 42:1-7)

    The Messiah, "The Lamb of GOD".
    (John 1:29,36)

    The Messiah, "The firstborn from among the dead".
    (Col 1:18)

    Once again: "In The Beginning" Our Father, "The
    Only True GOD" spoke: "Let there be Light, and
    there was Light"! The Messiah, "The Beginning of
    the Creation of GOD", "the firstborn of every
    creature(all creation)". (Gen 1:3, John 17:3,
    Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)

    Thanks Be To "Our Father"!

    The Messiah, The Creation of "The Only True
    GOD, Father of ALL"! (Rev 3:14)

    The Messiah, "made so much better than the
    angels"! (Heb 1:4)

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!
    (John 8:12, 9:5)

    "The Lamb of GOD", "The Light of The New
    Heavenly Jerusalem"! (Rev 21:22-23)

    Paul experienced "The Light " on the road to
    Damascus. "And it came to pass, that, as I
    made my journey, and came near unto
    Damascus about noontime, suddenly a great
    Light from Heaven shone round about me.
    And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice
    saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you
    persecute Me? And I answered, "Who are
    You, Master"? And He said unto me, I am
    Yehowshuwa'(Yahshua, Joshua) of Nazareth,
    Whom you persecute. And they that were
    with me saw The Light, and were afraid; but
    they did not hear the voice of Him that spoke
    to me. And I said, "What shall I do, Master"?
    And He said unto me, arise and go into
    Damascus, and there you shall be told all
    things which are appointed for you to do.
    And when I could not see for the glory of
    that Light, I was led by the hand into
    Damascus." (Acts 22:6-11)

    Paul also testified, "At midday I saw in the
    way a Light from Heaven, ABOVE THE
    BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN, shining round
    about me and those who journeyed with me.
    And when we were all fallen to the earth, I
    heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying
    in the HEBREW tongue, Saul, Saul, why do
    you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick
    against the pricks." (The Messiah could not
    have told Paul, "I am jesus" for He spoke in
    the "HEBREW tongue") (Acts 26:13-14)

    Paul saw "The Light" that was The Messiah
    and he was blinded(naturally, not Spiritually)
    for a time. Now when The Messiah was in
    the "likeness of sinful flesh", born as "the
    Son of man", He could only reflect "The
    Light", liken unto the moon which but reflects
    the light of the natural sun.

    "Let There Be Light"

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!

    And consider the natural light provided by the
    sun, which was Created on the fourth day.
    Does not the natural light of the sun reveal
    outwardly, all the earthly, natural things?
    Consider what happens when that which you
    thought was clean is exposed to the light of
    the sun? Is not the least outward particle of
    uncleanness readily seen in the light of the
    sun? And so it is with "The Light" that is The
    Messiah. For His Life, "The Life", reveals
    and exposes all the uncleanness in "our"
    life, the life that is of "our" own creation,
    which is the "I(ego, id)" in all of us, the
    product of "our" own vain "imag"inations!
    So it needs be that "The Light" penetrates
    deeply, even into the innermost recesses
    of the heart, "rightly dividing the soul and
    spirit", exposing all the darkness that the
    "I" in all of us did not want to "see"!

    Yet for such a cleansing to begin one must
    "experience The Messiah(The Light) and
    The Power that raised Him from among the
    dead"!(Php 3:10) Oh, there are many who
    know of a "messiah", yet who has
    experienced "The Light"? For "The Light"
    was "The Beginning of Creation" both the
    old, which was natural and earthly and The
    New, which is of The Spirit and Heavenly.
    Those who "love this world and it's things"
    yet desire that which "decayed, waxed
    old and vanished away" (Heb 8:13) They
    are of those "whose 'god' is their belly,
    and whose glory is in their shame, for
    they mind earthly things". (Phlp 3:19)

    Sadly, those who "love this world and it's
    things" yet love darkness more than The
    Light and they will abide in the darkness
    they loved forever ;-( (1Jn2:15,Jn3:19-20)

    Sadder yet, systems of religion that are of
    this world, such as "catholicism", "christianity",
    "judaism", "islam", etc., have so perverted
    The Testimonies, that today, as in the two
    thousand or so, years gone by, "The Way
    of Truth is evil spoken of"! All because of
    the theo'ry'logical, heretical doctrines that
    are of men! And especially those
    theo'ry'logical doctrines which seek to
    define "The Only True GOD, Father of All".
    (2Peter 2:1-2)

    All such doctrines are but the product of
    mankind's "imag"ination and mankind's
    "imag"ination is destroying and perverting
    Creation(land, air, water, creatures, Light,
    Truth, Love, Peace, Joy, Hope, .etc.)

    Yes, sadly ;-( Creation is being destroyed
    by self-willed men who could care less
    about that which is of The Truth(What Is,
    Was, and always Will Be), and care even
    less about those things which they can
    not comprehend apart from their
    "natural" senses and mental processes ;-(

    And The Truth testifies, The Creator "will
    destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS
    Creation)"(Rev 11:18).

    Sadly, in this wicked world, those who
    seek profit will naturally overcome those
    who do not ;-(

    Yet, There Is Hope!

    For The Life is of The Spirit!

    And Miracles do happen!

    And Faith rejoices against profit(greed)
    and theo'ry'logy(logic)!

    Hope is there would be those who experience
    The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The
    Truth" for they will "see" "The Light".
    (2Thes 2:10, John 8:12, 9:5)

    And they will receive peace, in spite of the
    dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world, for
    they will clearly "see" that "The WHOLE
    world is under the control of the evil one".
    (1John 5:19) And they will clearly "see"
    things as they are and not as "imag"inative,
    world-loving humans would have others
    believe them to be, for they will "see" The
    Light that is The Messiah....... francisco
    Revelation 2:17 said...
    I've rarely read a more confused mess.
    Jesus Christ is God himself. If you don't believe that, you'll die in your sins.

    John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he (Jehovah), ye shall die in your sins.

    He is the Son of God and God.
    He has no beginning of days. He's the one who created the light of Genesis 1:3.

    Here's the proof that that light isn't Jesus Christ.

    Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

    Now does that mean that God is the sun of Genesis 1:16? Of course not.

    You better get you a King James Bibe, sir.

    The Messiah, He had, and yet has, a GOD and Father, HE WHO IS my GOD and Father!

    sadly, you know not The Only True GOD and you remain orpaned without a Father ;-((

    yet there is hope!

    for Miracles do happen!

    hope is you would experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" for then you would "see" "The Light" that was, is and always will be The Messiah!

    All Thanks And Praise Be Unto The Only True GOD, Father of ALL!

    i "avoid verses"?

    and you, who abides in the darkness that is this world and it's religious theo'ry'logy and rejects "The Light"?

    The Messiah, He had, and yet has, a GOD and Father, HE WHO IS my GOD and Father!

    sadly, you know not The Only True GOD and you remain orpaned without a Father ;-((

    yet there is hope!

    for Miracles do happen!

    hope is you would experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" for then you would "see" "The Light" that was, is and always will be The Messiah!

    Isn't Jesus Christ amazing!! He is both GOD..."But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom." (Heb.1:8)
    ...and MAN: "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." (Heb.1:9)

    Yes, He is BOTH God... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (Jn.1:1)
    ...AND Man: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (Jn.1:14)

    Praise HIS Name!!
    Of course, Rev.2:17, you are exactly right, that unless we believe that HE IS (God), we will die in our sins, since He must be both God & Man to save us! And HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "Let There Be Light"

    "In The Beginning" The Creator(Our Father) said,
    "Let There Be Light, and There Was Light"

    "Let There Be Light!"
    "The Beginning of The Creation of GOD!"

    And the revelation that The Messiah received of
    Our Father and gave unto the apostle John bore
    witness to The Truth that The Messiah, was
    "The Beginning of the Creation of GOD(Our
    Father, Creator of ALL)"! (Rev 1:1, 3:14)

    And The Messiah bore witness to His Brethren
    when He testified, "My GOD is your GOD and My
    Father(Creator) is your Father(Creator)."(Jn 20:17)

    The Messiah testified "I have sent My angel to
    you with this testimony for the assemblies. I am
    the root and the offspring of David. I am the bright,
    Morning Star(Light)"! (Rev 22:16) ) Peter testified
    "We have the more sure word of prophecy; and
    you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a
    dark place, until the day dawns, and The Morning
    Star(Light) arises in your hearts."(2Pt 1:19) "But
    you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
    a holy nation, HIS own special people, that you
    may proclaim the praises of HIM who called you
    out of darkness into His marvelous Light."(1Pt2:9)

    And the evening(darkness) and The Morning
    (Light) was the First Day." (Gen 1:5)

    "The Beginning of The Creation of GOD"!

    It is very important to both know and experience
    The Messiah as He Is, Was and always Will Be,
    and also to know the "glory He had with Our
    Father" before He was born in "the likeness of
    sinful flesh". (John 17:5, Rom 8:3) For what The
    Messiah Was and Is, Is that which He will always
    Will Be."The Only Begotten Son" of "Our Father"!

    First, let me simply state that I do not believe the
    "catholic" and "christian" theo'ry'logical doctrines
    concerning "The Only True GOD, Father ALL". For
    they "image"ine a three-headed "god" they call
    their "trinity", or they declare their "christ" to be
    their "god and father", or they believe that The
    Messiah was but an exalted messenger(angel)
    or prophet.

    John The Baptist testified, "And I saw, and bare
    record that The Messiah is the Son of GOD(Our
    Father)."(John 1:34) Peter testified, "You are The
    Messiah, The Son of The Living GOD(Father of
    ALL)"!(Matt 16:16) And the Ethiopian eunuch
    testified, "I believe that The Messiah is The Son
    of GOD(Our Father)". (Acts 8:37) "Seeing then
    that we have a great high priest, that is passed
    into the Heavens, The Messiah, The Son of
    GOD(Our Father), let us hold fast our profession."
    (Heb 4:14) "These things are written so that you
    might believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD
    (Our Father)". (John 20:31) The Messiah testified
    that He was "The Son of GOD", and that His GOD
    was "The Only True GOD(Father of ALL)".
    (John 10:36,17:3)

    And The Messiah also testified that He was the
    "Son of man" and "The Light of the world".
    (Matt 26:64, John 8:12)

    It is needful to believe that The Messiah Was, Is
    and always Will Be "The Son of The Living GOD",
    and that there is but "One GOD, HE WHO is
    Father of ALL". (Mat 16:16, Eph 4:6) The Messiah
    bore witness to His Brethren when He testified
    after being "raised from among the dead", "My GOD
    is your GOD and My Father(Creator) is your Father
    (Creator)" (John 20:17)

    Is The Messiah's GOD and Father your GOD
    and Father?

    Who are The Brethren of The Messiah?

    "Let There Be Light"

    Once again, It is very important to both know and
    experience The Messiah as He Was, Is and always
    Will Be. The Messiah simply testified in John 17:5
    "And now O Father, glorify Me with YOUR own self
    with the glory that I had with YOU before the world
    began".

    Prior to that testimony The Messiah had testified,
    "Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while
    you have The Light, lest darkness comes upon
    you: for he that walks in darkness does not know
    where he goes. While you have Light, believe in
    The Light, that you may be the children of Light."
    (John 12:35-36)

    And the apostle John testified: "In the beginning
    was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and
    The Word was GOD. (John did not testify that
    The Word is GOD)The same was in the beginning
    with GOD. All things were made by Him, and
    without Him was not any thing made that was
    made. In Him was Life; and The Life was The
    Light of men. And The Light shined in darkness;
    and the darkness comprehended it not. There
    was a man sent from GOD, whose name was
    John. The same came for a witness, to bear
    witness of The Light, that all men through Him
    might believe. He(John the baptist) was not that
    Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
    That was the True Light, which enlightens every
    man that comes into the world. He(The Messiah)
    was in the world, and the world was made by
    Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto
    His own, and His own received Him not. But as
    many as received Him, to them He gave power
    to become the sons of GOD, even to them that
    believe on His name: Which were born, not of
    blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
    of man, but of "The Only True GOD, Father of
    ALL"." (John 1:1-13)

    It is needful to realize that The Messiah testified
    of "The Only True GOD" in John 17:3, and so it is
    that The GOD and Father of The Messiah IS,
    WAS and always WILL BE "The Only True GOD".

    "The Only True GOD" is "Father of ALL".

    And "The Father of ALL" is "Our Father", HE WHO
    IS "The Only True GOD" and Father of The Messiah
    and His Brethren.

    And the apostle John testified in John 3:17-21:
    "For Our Father sent not his Son into the world
    to condemn the world; but that the world through
    Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is
    not condemned: but he that believes not is
    condemned already, because he has not believed
    in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD(Our
    Father). And this is the condemnation, that Light is
    come into the world, and men loved darkness
    rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
    For every one that does evil hates The Light,
    neither comes to The Light, lest his deeds should
    be reproved. But he that does Truth comes to The
    Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
    they are wrought in GOD(Our Father)."

    In John 12:34 the people asked, "Who is this Son
    of man? Then in John 12:35-36, "The Messiah said
    unto them, yet a little while is The Light with you.
    Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come
    upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not
    know where he goes. While you have Light, believe
    in The Light, that you may be the children of Light.
    The Messiah spoke these things, and departed,
    and hid Himself from them."

    Simply, "In The Beginning" The Only True GOD
    spoke The Word, "Let There Be Light", "And there
    was Light"! "And there was evening(darkness) and
    there was morning (Light), The First Day". (Gen 1:5)
    Certainly such "Light" was not "natural" light, for
    "natural" light, the sun, moon, and stars were not
    created until the "fourth day". (Gen 1:14-19)

    "In the beginning", "The First Day", The Father of
    All created "The Light", without which Creation and
    Life, as we now know and experience it, could not
    have been.

    The First Day, "The Light", The Messiah, "The
    beginning of the Creation of GOD(HE WHO is
    The Only True GOD and Father of ALL)"!
    (Gen 1:3, Rev 3:14, John 17:3, Eph 4:6)

    And "The Only True GOD" created all "things" by,
    through, and for "The Light", The Messiah, "The
    Son of The Living GOD" and "Son of man".
    (Col 1:15, Eph 3:9, Mat 16:16, Mat 12:32)

    And "The True Light which enlightens every man
    coming into the world", was born as a child
    destined to be The Messiah. (John 1:9, Mat 1:21)

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world".
    (John 8:12, 9:5)

    The Messiah, "The firstborn of every creature
    (all creation)". (Col 1:15)

    The Messiah, "Begotten of Our Father",
    "The firstborn among many Brethren".
    (Heb 1:5) (Ps 2:7) (Rom 8:29)

    The Messiah, "A servant of The Only True GOD
    (Father of ALL)". (Isa 42:1-7)

    The Messiah, "The Lamb of GOD".
    (John 1:29,36)

    The Messiah, "The firstborn from among the dead".
    (Col 1:18)

    Once again: "In The Beginning" Our Father, "The
    Only True GOD" spoke: "Let there be Light, and
    there was Light"! The Messiah, "The Beginning of
    the Creation of GOD", "the firstborn of every
    creature(all creation)". (Gen 1:3, John 17:3,
    Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)

    Thanks Be To "Our Father"!

    The Messiah, The Creation of "The Only True
    GOD, Father of ALL"! (Rev 3:14)

    The Messiah, "made so much better than the
    angels"! (Heb 1:4)

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!
    (John 8:12, 9:5)

    "The Lamb of GOD", "The Light of The New
    Heavenly Jerusalem"! (Rev 21:22-23)

    Paul experienced "The Light " on the road to
    Damascus. "And it came to pass, that, as I
    made my journey, and came near unto
    Damascus about noontime, suddenly a great
    Light from Heaven shone round about me.
    And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice
    saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you
    persecute Me? And I answered, "Who are
    You, Master"? And He said unto me, I am
    Yehowshuwa'(Yahshua, Joshua) of Nazareth,
    Whom you persecute. And they that were
    with me saw The Light, and were afraid; but
    they did not hear the voice of Him that spoke
    to me. And I said, "What shall I do, Master"?
    And He said unto me, arise and go into
    Damascus, and there you shall be told all
    things which are appointed for you to do.
    And when I could not see for the glory of
    that Light, I was led by the hand into
    Damascus." (Acts 22:6-11)

    Paul also testified, "At midday I saw in the
    way a Light from Heaven, ABOVE THE
    BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN, shining round
    about me and those who journeyed with me.
    And when we were all fallen to the earth, I
    heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying
    in the HEBREW tongue, Saul, Saul, why do
    you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick
    against the pricks." (The Messiah could not
    have told Paul, "I am jesus" for He spoke in
    the "HEBREW tongue") (Acts 26:13-14)

    Paul saw "The Light" that was The Messiah
    and he was blinded(naturally, not Spiritually)
    for a time. Now when The Messiah was in
    the "likeness of sinful flesh", born as "the
    Son of man", He could only reflect "The
    Light", liken unto the moon which but reflects
    the light of the natural sun.

    "Let There Be Light"

    The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!

    And consider the natural light provided by the
    sun, which was Created on the fourth day.
    Does not the natural light of the sun reveal
    outwardly, all the earthly, natural things?
    Consider what happens when that which you
    thought was clean is exposed to the light of
    the sun? Is not the least outward particle of
    uncleanness readily seen in the light of the
    sun? And so it is with "The Light" that is The
    Messiah. For His Life, "The Life", reveals
    and exposes all the uncleanness in "our"
    life, the life that is of "our" own creation,
    which is the "I(ego, id)" in all of us, the
    product of "our" own vain "imag"inations!
    So it needs be that "The Light" penetrates
    deeply, even into the innermost recesses
    of the heart, "rightly dividing the soul and
    spirit", exposing all the darkness that the
    "I" in all of us did not want to "see"!

    Yet for such a cleansing to begin one must
    "experience The Messiah(The Light) and
    The Power that raised Him from among the
    dead"!(Php 3:10) Oh, there are many who
    know of a "messiah", yet who has
    experienced "The Light"? For "The Light"
    was "The Beginning of Creation" both the
    old, which was natural and earthly and The
    New, which is of The Spirit and Heavenly.
    Those who "love this world and it's things"
    yet desire that which "decayed, waxed
    old and vanished away" (Heb 8:13) They
    are of those "whose 'god' is their belly,
    and whose glory is in their shame, for
    they mind earthly things". (Phlp 3:19)

    Sadly, those who "love this world and it's
    things" yet love darkness more than The
    Light and they will abide in the darkness
    they loved forever ;-( (1Jn2:15,Jn3:19-20)

    Sadder yet, systems of religion that are of
    this world, such as "catholicism", "christianity",
    "judaism", "islam", etc., have so perverted
    The Testimonies, that today, as in the two
    thousand or so, years gone by, "The Way
    of Truth is evil spoken of"! All because of
    the theo'ry'logical, heretical doctrines that
    are of men! And especially those
    theo'ry'logical doctrines which seek to
    define "The Only True GOD, Father of All".
    (2Peter 2:1-2)

    All such doctrines are but the product of
    mankind's "imag"ination and mankind's
    "imag"ination is destroying and perverting
    Creation(land, air, water, creatures, Light,
    Truth, Love, Peace, Joy, Hope, .etc.)

    Yes, sadly ;-( Creation is being destroyed
    by self-willed men who could care less
    about that which is of The Truth(What Is,
    Was, and always Will Be), and care even
    less about those things which they can
    not comprehend apart from their
    "natural" senses and mental processes ;-(

    And The Truth testifies, The Creator "will
    destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS
    Creation)"(Rev 11:18).

    Sadly, in this wicked world, those who
    seek profit will naturally overcome those
    who do not ;-(

    Yet, There Is Hope!

    For The Life is of The Spirit!

    And Miracles do happen!

    And Faith rejoices against profit(greed)
    and theo'ry'logy(logic)!

    Hope is there would be those who experience
    The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The
    Truth" for they will "see" "The Light".
    (2Thes 2:10, John 8:12, 9:5)

    And they will receive peace, in spite of the
    dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world, for
    they will clearly "see" that "The WHOLE
    world is under the control of the evil one".
    (1John 5:19) And they will clearly "see"
    things as they are and not as "imag"inative,
    world-loving humans would have others
    believe them to be, for they will "see" The
    Light that is The Messiah....... francisco
